Are you scientifically literate?
 

Take this quiz to find out.

I took it, my score and my shame are posted below. I could have answered two of the eight I missed correctly, but I moved too quickly. Oops. Well, I deserve the score I got.

Be aware, it's kind of a long test, fifty questions. I took about ten minutes to complete it. It covers physics, biology, history, chemistry, astronomy, mathematics, geometry, etc. I really liked it, I hope you like it too.

Are you scientifically literate?

My results:

Attachment 37110

I gave up after question 20 when I realized I had way more wrong answers than right.

Awwww.... :(

37 correct for me.

29 correct.

And, in fairness quite a few of those I only got right because of the clues about Greek and Latin terms.

Apparently, I am scientifically illiterate. I depend on google for my literacy :rolleyes:

slipped up on mechanics, biology & meteorology

Thanks BigV for posting

ETA:
So did I. ;o)

You're welcome, and very impressive performance. You are indeed literate.

I've tried twice, and gotten kicked off at question 42.:sniff:

= the meaning of life, the universe, and everything

Very significant!

I'm on question 2, and I already have gotten half wrong. Not looking good.

I really thought I would do better, but, armed with only a high school education, during which I paid absolutely no attention whatsoever, I'm actually pretty happy with my score.

It.







Is.






So.






Slow.






5/6 so far.
If I start getting lots wrong (which I almost certainly will - you know what my maths like after all) then I will give up. I don't mind getting questions wrong - I learn by my mistakes. But I don't want to wait around to be served up humiliation.

33/50 correct. I have math issues.
